I Scored Big with the Kids

My kids, a boy 3 and a girl 5, are getting into Superheroes. The other day, I went and bought a bunch of single common Heroclix from Twilight Cards of a lot of the guys they recognize-- Captain America, Spider-Man and Hulk for him, and Hawkgirl, Batgirl and She-Hulk for her. I also bought a bunch of baddies to fight: Vulture, Doc Ock, the Lizard, Scorpion and a Skrull. I gave them as action figures to the kids. Cost me about $17, with shipping, for 11 figures. The kids went NUTS over them!

Road Rage v8

We played a game of Road Rage v8 [pdf] Friday night. It was a fun little game of beat up Hot Wheels cars with guns on them. Doesn't look to be much support for them any more, but the rules are still around (just like Axles and Alloys). Hmmm...Road Rage News, an auto dueling blog I just found, looks interesting but idle.

FUMBBL Online Blood Bowl League

The FUMBBL online Blood Bowl league looks very cool. I remember back in the day, we used IRC to chat back and forth. I kept a board out and moved proxy players on it to keep track of where everyone was, and I wrote a little dice-rolling and card-drawing bot.
